A. D. A.’s Vole Metcalfe,
Kuntz Into the Purple

April 2 2d a mighty roar rose from the
steps of Main when A. D. A. added two
new members to its galaxy of stars—
Freddie Metcalfe and Val Kuntz. After
Val had (with much adenoidal intona¬
tion) told her malady story and Freddie
had explained her approach to the faculty
when wanting a new reform, the girls
invited everybody to their stunt next
Tuesday. "Humph,” snorted Freddie,
"I detect sabotage—the Adas are after
new legislature, men in their rooms no
doubt!”

Several members of the faculty are
planning to attend many meetings of
vital interest during this month. This past
week-end Dr. Mary Parmenter and Dr.
Isabel Rathbome went to the regional
meeting of the College English As¬
sociation at Duke University. Presi¬
dent Randolph will go to two meet¬
ings in Washington April 23d-26th.
She will attend the conference of the
Teachers of International Law and re¬
lated subjects and the American Society
of International Law.

On May 6th, Mr. Bolgar will play in
Lynchburg as soloist on the annual con¬
cert of the Lynchburg Choral Society.
This will be an all-American program in¬
cluding three choral preludes by Ernest
Zechiel of Sweet Briar faculty. This will
be the first public performance of these
works. Mr. Bolgar will also include in
his program a sonata by Ellwel.

Miss Fanona Knox is now on a trip
through the South visiting preparatory
and high schools. She is conferring with
the various heads of schools about pro¬
spective students to Hollins. Miss Mary
Knox will leave for North Carolina the
latter part of this month to attend several
college days at high schools of that

This is not a gripe, it is not a dash of bitters, it is not even the
private luxury of a swan-song. It is, rather, a lament. There is
nothing so satisfying as a set of New Year’s resolutions, and
nothing so lamentable as some things which should have been
included. Hence, we lament.

1. We lament because we didn’t know what we know now
four years ago.

2. We lament because some $5.00 books did not mean more
to us than $5.00.

3. We lament because the library was never more than a
clearing house for assignments.

4. We lament the times we forgot to bring money to Chapel
for Mercy House.

5. We lament we did not hang on to some of those men we
had our freshman year.

6. We lament we were not the Big Sisters and Group Leaders
we had hoped to be.

7. We lament because we never worked hard enough to be¬
come interested in many courses. They would have been
so much nicer.

8. We lament that we and the faculty were both too busy
to be the friends we were supposed to be in a small col¬
lege system.

9. We lament the things we were interested in and never
bothered about.

10. We lament the times we should have kept our mouths
shut, and the times we left them hanging open.

11. We lament the times we spent at the tea house that would
have been better spent elsewhere, and the times we spent
elsewhere that would have been better spent at the tea
house.

12. We lament all the good friendships we almost made.

13. We lament not knowing more people better and not
knowing better people more.

14. We lament that we are not that PERSON we thought we
would be at the end of four years.

15. We lament that we never quite forgot we were seniors.

16. We lament because the world into which we graduate is
so lamentable.

London has just been bombed once more, the Greeks are retreating,
Yugoslavia has been taken, it will only be a matter of weeks until the
United States will become a part of the fire and blood that is war. So
the reports come in from radio and newspaper. Just what is a student-
at Hollins going to do in a world gone mad with destruction? Sit back
and prepare herself for the major task to which she might be called later.
Yes, sit back. To run headlong into any relief job to “be doing h er b it",
is for a girl to hinder far more than help her country. Instead of yielding
to the usual panic and leave college to “do something” for her country,
it is the duty of every sensible college student to rationally finish her
college education which will equip her to be a valuable asset rather than
a blundering helper.

Addressing a group of undergraduates at Vassar, Mrs. Roosevelt de¬
clared every woman would be of more value in the present crisis by
resolutely and quietly doing her ordinary tasks a little better than ever
before. Instead of being swept along by panic Mrs. Roosevelt advised
college women to devote themselves with a little more vigor and appli¬
cation toward obtaining a college degree. Rather than leaving Hollins
to roll a few Red Cross bandages, it is almost imperative that we students
at college work harder to get an A. B. which will in part fit us to live in
a disillusioned post-war world demanding our every ounce of knowledge
and stamina.

A. F.

Practically every Hollins convocation speaker lately has been ex¬
tremely sincere (John Mason Brown’s use of the word), has had a few
“Purple Passages” which excite interest, but has, in the main, lapsed
into the field of “America, the last stronghold of culture and democracy. ”
With the map of Europe fast becoming a complete blackout, a cul¬
tural center of learning such as we strive for Hollins to be cannot fail
to give more and deeper thought and study in this democracy we must
defend. We hear the radio almost hourly and read the papers daily—or
we should. When an outstanding person comes to Hollins, however, _w£
want to hear more about his specific interest which is a part of this way
of life we cherish. " ■ Vv

We knew, for example, before Mr. Irwin Edman told us, sincerely
and with no split infinitives, that philosophy can really crystallize' the
ideas we must uphold. Mr. Edman waxed far more eloquent in a small
group discussion when he told of his favorite philosopher, Mr. George
Santayana. We then learned something about Santayana’s life in Fascist
Italy, about his aesthetic way of life, and a great deal about a fine Ajr£*jj»
ican philosopher, Irwin Edman.

Miss Josephine Roche and Dr. Wyman were also sincere ii\ th^i}-
philosophical discussions of democracy. Both of these famous people
were far more enlightening and interesting in their own fields. Miss
Roche gave us some concrete faults of our democracy when she told
of strikes and labor sabotage in her own coal fields; and Dr. Wyman
left us a moving thought in his lectures on personal Christian freedom.

We Hollins girls are sufficiently enlightened on the world situation
to realize that the fate of democracy is in our hands and that art, philos¬
ophy, and other fields are important in the world crisis. The best way,
we feel, a speaker can make us realize the value and ideals we must
defend is by giving us a true picture of one of the fields and of one of the
individuals for whose liberty we strive.

S. G.'

Dear Editor:

Why do Hollins girls have Sundays as they do? For four years now I
have been conscious of it and have wondered why it was. It is a fact.
Any student will admit it.

Last night, Sunday, I came back to my room feeling as though I’d
like to hit somebody. Before I came to college, it was a day to look for¬
ward to. The family usually planned something together, there was Sun¬
day dinner, always the best meal of the week, Sunday night supper with
friends or buffet.

But what does Sunday offer here? A day of no classes. A dinner
with always tomato juice, chicken, rice, usually broccoli, and ice cream.
And chapel. If you have studied during the week, you often don’t have
to do that. You don’t object to the menu above, but you certainly are
sick of it. Chapel, as often as not, offers sermons that are inexcusably,
poor. /

What shall you do? You don’t feel like being athletic, you’d rather
not read. If you happen to have a date “sans” car there is nothing to do
but sit or walk up and down,. If you don’t have a date, you often, in spite
of yourself, settle down to feeling blue or arguing with your roommate.

Now, I really am a conservative. I can see reason behind the rules
here at Hollins, but why are card playing and dancing, even if it were
limited to Keller, looked upon as such a sin? Our bridge games are in fun,
there is usually no scoring and never gambling for prizes. Why can’t we
do that and dance?

A Senior

Under the Dome

This is our last, our bitter end. In
■fact, it’s our dead end. Soon, maybe not
tomorrow, but soon there’ll be two more
toF us. From now on your pills will be
coated with somebody else’s sugar.

Anne Hall has her troubles during
these balmy days. Recently she was
trying to explain to Susan Johnston how
she was going to judge a poetry contest.
Says Sooze: “What do you know about
chickens?”

Every Social Problem has its moments.
The other day the class had been field
tripping through the detention home, and
Was being ushered out by the Warden,
when they heard a terrific clatter behind
them. When they unlocked the several
iron, doors, bars, etc. they found Lib
Ward who had been locked in with the
other delinquents, by mistake of course.

Popey’s powers of imagination are un¬

The other night she saw Miss Parkinson
approaching down the path with her
flashlight, and at the same time heard a
jear with a loud exhaust go tearing by.
; "Look,” she screamed. “There’s a
'motorcycle coming down the tea house
ipath!”

’true artist—if not the vocabulary. After

Louise Buse was making her first trip to

W. & L. and was she excited!

“Oh,” she said. “I'm going over with
a Phi Beta Kappa, and do they have a

It’ll probably make the grade, Louise.

' Simplicity is the spice of life. The

Then he left. Always have said there is
something remarkable about that dog.

ing, and Chink in the back couldn’t hear
'a word she was saying. Finally she
asked Dr. Smith what she was saying.

“Not a thing,” came the reply. “Just
kind of effervescing.”

Well, it’s been fun and all that stuff.
We could go on for paragraphs about it
all—how we hate to stop, etc. The truth
is that the very thought of everything
makes us so sentimental that we are
just—

Junior President

Mr. Friskin Plays
in Little Theatre

Last Thursday night for Convocation
Mr. James Friskin gave a piano recital.
Mr. Friskin is an internationally-known
pianist who was bom in Glasgow, Scot¬
land, but now lives in New York. At
the age of fourteen he won a scholarship
at the Royal College of Music as a pianist,
and a few years later he also won a com¬
position scholarship there.

Since 1916, when he made a very suc¬
cessful debut in New York, he has given
many successful recitals in the United
States, both as a soloist and in chamber
music concerts. He is the author of a
book. Principles of Pianoforte Practice and
a member of the faculty of Juilliard School
of Music. Mr. Friskin's recital here last
week included works by Bach, Beethoven,
Franck, Debussy and Chopin.

Hollins Hostess
to Scout Leaders

Trusler Leads
Student Chapel

The twenty-second annual conference
for region three of Girl Scout Adult
leaders and National Board members
opened last Monday in Roanoke. That
afternoon President Randolph, assisted
by Hollins faculty members and students,
served tea in the drawing room for three
hundred of the guests. Among those
present was Mrs. Lee Powell, Regional
Chairman, who received with President
Randolph. Mrs. Fred Brooke, Honorary
President; Mrs. Swift Newton, Interna¬
tional Relations Chairman of the National
Conference Board; Mrs. Vance McCorm¬
ick, First Vice President, and Mrs. Leslie
Glenn, Third Vice President. The guests
were shown around the campus by mem¬
bers of the student body.

Junior Class Now Harbors
Famous Dancer and Traveler

Each year the Y. M. C. A. sponsors
three student chapel programs in which
some student conducts the service. The
first program of this kind was a talk by
Erica Brown on her native land, Belgium.
Then on April 16th Peggy Trusler held
the second of this series. The subject of
her discussion was the ever-lasting and
all-powerful presence of Jesus even after
nineteen hundred years.

Turning to a biography by James
Russell Bowie, she pointed out that
though Christ was neither a conqueror
like Alexander the Great, nor a great
statesman like Julius Cassar, His name
outshines all others in the annals of
history. It was through the force of
His wonderful personality, and through
His teaching that His simple and beauti¬
ful life has become an inspiration for all
time.

Although the date has not yet been set,
the third and last of these student chapel
programs will be in May.

The most interesting member of the
Junior class is a young woman who,
after touring the European continent as
a professional dancer for five years, has
come to Hollins for a degree in language.
Eileen Hays, bom in Roanoke, began to
study dancing when she was five years
old. After graduating from high school
she came here as a special student, taking
music, dancing and foreign languages.

After one year she determined to go on
with a career and, going to New York,
she began the studying which later took
her into all parts of the United States and
to France. Among the names of her
teachers 1 recognized Ruth St. Dennis,
Ted Shawn and Albertina Rasch. After
several years of preparation in both
modern and ballet dancing, and while
she was studying under Zorina’s instruc¬
tor in Paris, she decided to join a troup,
doing both solo and partner work.

“ We appeared before the cosmopolitan
audiences," Miss Hays told me, “of
Europe’s outstanding cities, even going
down into Egypt. The audiences there
were made up of the international society—
imagine our surprise in Cairo at finding
even Barbara Hutton at our perfor¬
mances. However,” she said laughing,
“she seemed to turn up wherever we went;
Monte Carlo, London, Paris, Vienna—”

Bursting with curiosity, I finally said,
“I’ve heard you danced before the King
of England—did you?”

“Oh, yes. We danced for the Prince of
Wales, the King of Egypt, the president
of the French republic, the Duke and
Duchess of Kent, the King of Norway,
and the Vice-Chancellor of Austria,
whose guest we were in Vienna.”

"Well, why in the world then did you
ever quit?” I asked.

“You see,” she answered gravely,
“dancing is a glamourous career when
you’re young and carefree. It’s fun to
have people pay you attention and to
visit the show places of the world, but
it’s a hard life. For instance, for a while we
gave five shows daily and put in twelve
hours each day practicing. As I got
older I wanted to settle down. I wanted
something more tangible.” This made me
smile, her being “older”, for in Spaldings
and socks with a blue peasant skirt she
looked scarcely twenty. Seeing me smile,
she added, “Besides it’s good to quit
something while you can still do it.”

“Yes—then you will graduate next
year?”

“That depends on the war,” she said.
“You see, I pilot a plane and perhaps
next year there will be some thing for
the government that I can do.”

Dawn Patrol Turn-Out
Brings May Day Morale

On Tuesday, April 14th, the Vocational
Guidance Committee, headed by Miss
Jackson, brought Mrs. Charles Dunbar,
Director of the Katherine Gibbs school in
Boston, to our campus to speak on
the opportunities for jobs for college
women created by our national defense
program. Because of this wide-spread
program there is a greater demand for
women to fill jobs, says Mrs. Dunbar,
than there is a supply of women seeking
the jobs. Mrs. Dunbar pointed out the
advantages of each college major which
could be utilized without the addition of
graduate work in a period when jobs for
women are particularly plentious. Speak¬
ing particularly to the undergraduate,
Mrs. Dunbar also explained the impor¬
tance of making contacts during summer
between school years. For two days
following her talk, Mrs. Dunbar held
individual conferences in which she took
up particular problems with the persons
concerned. The Vocational Guidance
Committee on the Hollins campus is
quite active in its efforts to furnish the
students with information on opportuni¬
ties open to college women for jobs.
Specialists in various fields of work have
been on campus throughout the year to
explain the requirements and openings for
college graduates in their particular
vocations.

Richmond Trip
Was One Hot Time

At the unearthly hour of 7:45 the Choir
and Choral Club left on their long-awaited
“field trip” to Richmond, where they
sang over the NBC from 2:30 to 3:00
Saturday afternoon. It really was no
picnic. The heat was stifling both going
over and coming back. During the re¬
hearsal of the program there were approxi¬
mately seventy girls crammed into a
tiny room, plus a piano, two microphones;
plus Miss Randolph, Mr. Goodale, Mr.
Talmadge, Mr. Bolger; plus the very
capable announcer. A few minutes before
going on the air (officially) Wash¬
ington called and informed Richmond
that they had a bad mike. Richmond
replied that they were positive that all
their apparatus was in tip-top condition.
After a final check-up it was discovered
that the human dishrags were circulating
a few air currents with the Founder’s
Day music. No fanning was allowed—
hence no air currents for one-half an
hour—thirty tortuous minutes. It was
awful. And in concluding may we quote
Mr. Goodale’s famous pun that brought
no reactions—“Wirts fail me.” The bus
driver’s name was Mr. Wirts.

Seniors Have Series
of Interesting Forums

The next meeting of the Senior Forum
will take place on the twenty-fourth of
April in Presser Auditorium. Mrs.
Reeves, Dean Smith, Miss Uzzell and
Mr. Waddell will talk to the seniors.
These speakers are expected to point out
to the senior class its duties as alumnae
so that it will still be an important part
of Hollins next year and the years to come,
although it will not be on campus.

The specific nature of the speeches by
Mrs. Reeves, Dean Smith, Miss Uzzell,
and Mr. Waddell is not known. As head
of the Alumnae Organization, Mrs. Reeves
will probably tell the senior class about
that group. Miss Uzzell, who is head of
the Centennial Fund Committee will have
something to say on that topic.

Other meetings of the Senior Forum
are scheduled for May 7th and May 13th.
On May 7th, Miss Chevraux will speak,
and on May 13th, a representative of the
Association of American University Wo¬
men will explain the organization to the
senior class in order to arouse their in¬
terest in it.

Valeria Kuntz Elected
to Head Junior Class

Val Kuntz, vice president of the
Sophomore class this year, was elected
Junior Class President for 1941-1942 at
a recent meeting of the Sophomore class.
Val was captain of the Sophomore basket
ball team, a member of the Red team,
and a reporter for Hollins Columns.

We Suggest . . .

1. A visit to one of your favorite pro¬
fessors, or a trip to the Tea House with
another—not for apple-polishing but just
for good, stimulating conversation.

* * * *

2. A glass vanity with a mono-
grammed powder puff inside.

* * * *

3. Verdi’s Requiem sung by a mixed
chorus of around 400 voices under Mr.
Goodale’s direction, Sunday, May 11th,
in the Roanoke City Auditorium.

* * * *

4. “South American” lipstick and
polish to match by Dorothy Gray.

* * * *

5. More sausages for breakfast.

* * * *

6. More WHITE shorts (not so short)
for the tennis courts.

• * * *

7. Skol sun-tan oil.

* * * *

8. Helping with the ninety May Day
costumes which should be fun—working
on colorful, flimsy material while every¬
one sits around on the floor in a mad bull
session over cokes (you have friends going
to the T House, don’t you?).

* * * *

9. “The White Cliffs”—a poetic ex¬
pression of the current American senti¬
ment toward England.

* * * *

10. American-made Espadrills for $1.98
in white, red and blue or natural.

* * * *

11. Walking around the back of Little
Tinker or by Happy Valley now that all
the Dogwood and Redbud are in bloom.

* * * *

12. Reading “Blondie" to learn the
latest about “the little one."

13. Following the sunbathing rules no
matter how frustrated you may feel.
After all we don’t want the roof to fall
into the swimming pool just because
more than thirty girls want to tan their
torsos.

* * * *

14. Starting those term papers and
shutting up about it.

Beginning last Monday a new—but
annual—organization, one hundred strong
came into being on campus: The Dawn
Patrol. These Dawn Patrollers, to an
anvil chorus of alarm clocks, emerge each
morning from the chrysallis of their
warm, wonderful beds at five forty-five
and, hurling vitriolic remarks at anything
within the line of vision, grope their way
into the great outdoors.

Here they form wooden-faced little
crews and march unsteadily to the Forest
of Arden where they—yep, that’s it—
They Practice May Day!

The morale, however, even of these
sprightly little woodland folk is definitely
at low ebb so early in the morning. In
stony silence they regard Miss Becker,
out ecstatically beating the bushes foi
her birds. “It ain’t normal,” they mutter

glumly. But soon life comes to the party
and between yawns activity begins: The
Choral Club and the Choir trill with
growing vigor; the Orchesis gang wiggle
their toes experimentally and are soon
flailing the air with arms and legs. By
the time the first call to breakfast floats
out into the morning, rehearsal is in full
swing.

The result of this orgy of energy will
be an always exciting and lovely May Day,
when about three-thirty of a Saturday
afternoon the colorful and graceful pa¬
geant will be presented to a wide-eyed
audience. Immediately after this Miss
Maddrey will entertain in the Green
Drawing Room for the queen, her court
and all the visiting families of students
in order that the campus visitors may
meet Miss Randolph.

Seniors Eat, Sing, Lose Voices
at Party Given by Mrs. Reeves

Tuesday night, April 15th, the Seniors
did a fade out, a la taxis to the cabin.
Mrs. Reeves was their hostess at a grand
party. Just like Tinker Day, the group
sat around a long table piled with food.
According to those present, the party
started rolling about nine o’clock. A
large amount of food was done away
With and every one joined in the singing
around the open fire. Ellen Leach did
tribute to the Indian Love Call and
McCleskey lost her voice. The whole
party declared it a huge success.

New Requirements Listed
For Dramatic Participation

In a recent meeting of the Hollins
College Dramatic Board, plans were made
by its members for the coming year. Due
to the new recording system which has
gone into effect, the requirements cover¬
ing participation in dramatics have been
changed. A class standard does not have
to be maintained in order to do back
stage work, this only being required of
the chairmen of committees and those
acting in the play. In regard to the
commencement play, The Lamp and the
Bell, by Edna St. Vincent Millay, the
president of the Board, Lisa Lindsey,
announced that attempts were being
made to have two permanent chairmen,
one of staging and the other of properties,
and a changing board. They are also
striving to put into effect the rule that
girls may work back stage on two plays
a year instead of being able to appear
in only one and work back stage on one
per year.

The Lamp and the Bell is a story of the
friendship between two girls which is
broken when both girls fall in love with
the same man. When one of the girls is
dying, the friendship is once more renewed.
This play was written by Edna St. Vincent
Millay for a celebration of the fiftieth
anniversary of Vassar. Written in the
early period of Miss Millay's literary
creativity, this play contains several of
her early sonnets. The music for the play
will be original music written by a Hollins
girl when the play was first given at
Hollins ten years ago. The play will cast
around thirty varied roles, all of which
will be girls’ parts.

HOLLINS COLUMNS, APRIL 24,1941, HOLLINS COLLEGE, VIRGINIA

By Val Kuntz

Eggs, eggs? Who said that ‘‘Easter¬
time is the time for eggs, and the time for
eggs is Eastertime”? We didn’t see any
eggs! ! Not a one. But we did see many
orchids pinned to proud shoulders on
that lovely sunshiny day not so long ago.
Hollins really did herself up fine for the
corsage boxes were piled up to the ceiling,
and everyone looked like a walking florist
shop—remember? Watching the church¬
going hustle was as exciting as being
present at a Fifth Avenue Easter Parade—
well, almost, anyhow! Dee Alexander
captured every eye with her new gray
silk dress trimmed with white ruching,
combined with a bright red straw bonnet
edged with navy and a red and navy
purse. More red, white and blue seen on
Margaret Harmon, who created quite a
sensation in her Easter dress—red on the
front and navy on the back with white
stripes down each side—very unusual! A
startling contrast to the gay colors and
bright pastels was Zora’s stunning black
faille suit worn with a large off-the-face
hat. Did she look glamorous—well, you
know our Zora!

How do we know spring is here for
good? Some will say we know because
the trees and flowers have created a riot
of color all over campus. But we know
for an entirely different reason—our new
Spauldings are here! Haven’t you all
noticed those absolutely spotless (not for
long, though), gleaming, dazzling white
and brown saddle shoes limping or drag¬
ging themselves all over Hollins? Haven’t
you seen the girls studying in the library
with one on (the shoe lace usually untied)
and one off—getting shoved around under¬
neath the tables? This is a sure sign, so
we may as well all heave a big sigh and
stop saying, gloomily, that this is merely
a warm spell for its definitely here to
stay—Spring, we mean.

And along with the Spauldings come the
summer spectators at night. What a
relief for those lucky individuals who
have gotten themselves a new pair already
and can prance up and down back campus
each evening! But how about the poor,
unfortunates whose pockets hang limp and
dejected (unless stuffed with bills) and
who cannot find those blankety-blank
spectators from last fall? We sympathize
for we're in the same fix!

Incidently, you surely couldn’t have
failed to notice the flood of these crazy
“broomstick” skirts? Every color com¬
bination possible has been seen on one
person or another, but we want to see
or hear whether they really work. 'Tis
said that instead of ironing them out,
you merely twist them around a broom¬
stick handle and let them dry that way.
Lo and behold—a mass of pleats greets
the eye when they are unwound. Now,
really—what next?

And to mention some of the cuter ones
seen on campus—Jeannie Afflick in a
fitted-red middy blouse made of silk
jersey with a navy skirt—Angie Frazier
in pink sharkskin which makes her tan
(from Florida, no less!) look even tanner—
Ann Upchurch in red silk with white
paneling across the neck and shoulders—
Franny Lunsford in navy crepe with red
and white polka dots splashed down the
skirt and Kitty Anderson off for a week¬
end in a military navy suit with a red-
lined cape.

Wallace Gives
Series of Teas
For Freshmen

Miss Wallace and some of the Fresh¬
men got together and gave a set of teas
for the Freshmen and members of the
faculty. The first tea was March 14th,
then April 11th and April 18th, and the
last will be May 9th. The purpose of
the teas was to give the Freshmen the
opportunity to become acquainted with
the faculty. Since there are so many
Freshmen, the teas were divided into
four sections, and at every tea the mem¬
bers of each division of the faculty was
invited; with the last tea in May, all
the faculty and Freshmen will have come.

The girls seemed to enjoy the teas and
were happy to be able to talk with the
faculty. These gatherings give the Fresh¬
men an opportunity to learn to know
our staff, and informal teas are ideal for
this purpose.

Old Silent Films
Shown Saturday

This Saturday, April 26th, the Cinema
Guild presents in the Little Theatre from
7:30 to 9:00 P. M. a group of old silent
films: Charlie Chaplin in The Adventurer
and Easy Street; Laurel and Hardy in
Criminals at Large, While the Cat’s Away
with Mary Pickford; Grinning Gringo,
featuring Douglas Fairbank’s alluring
grin and as a finale, An American Family,
with Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin,
Lillian Gish, Douglas Fairbanks and
Fatty Arbucle.

The horseshow committee was tearing
its hair over two signatures who had
signed up to be in the show. Finally
they figured out the names of two Seniors
and put them in classes. Then they
realized the girls didn’t ride. So they
grabbed the girls to find out the score.
It seems the two innocents had thought
they were signing up for the skating
party.

Professors Talk
on F rench Painters

A gallery talk on the works of twelve
French painters was given by Mr. Shaffer
and Mr. Ballator last Sunday at two
o’clock in Presser.

By an informal discussion, Mr. Shaffer
and Mr. Ballator pointed out the values
and gave their opinions of the different
works of Cezanne, Utrillo, Derain, Pi¬
casso, Dali, deChirico, Ronault, Gries,
Kies, Brack, Miro and Arp. Examples
of the works of these artists were on
exhibition in the Art History room in
Presser from April 10th to April 23d.
They are from the Museum of Modem
Art.

This was the last gallery talk to be
given in April. The next talk will be
May 4th and will be on the etchings of
Samuel Chamberlain. An exhibition of
Chamberlain’s etchings will be in the
Y. W. C. A. room from April 23d to May
7th.

Seniors Lead in Scholarship
According lo Recent Survey

The registrar’s office has just compiled
various figures concerning a study of
grades for the first semester, 1940-41. The
Senior Class lead the honor list with 22%
of their class being on the dean’s list.
This percentage represents 11 students.
The Junior Class ranked next in percent¬
age with honors with 10% of that class
making honors. This figure symbolizes
5 in this class who made honors. The
Freshman Class rated next with a 5.2%
group rating honors. There were 8 Fresh¬
men on the Dean’s List. The Sophomore
Class had 4 of its members on the Dean’s
List or 4.8% of their entire group.

Adhering to their standard of high
scholastic averages, the Seniors also led
the school in having the greatest percent¬
age of their class in the B or above group.
38% of the Senior Class have a B or
better average; 29.7% of the Junior Class;
8.4% of the Sophomore Class, and 8.6%
of the Freshman Class.

Yes, we know—It’s Spring! *‘De boid
is on the wing.” The age-old adage seems
to have held good last week-end for as
Spring came bursting upon us, dozens of
young men’s fancies must have been turn¬
ing handsprings. With Spring Dances at
Virginia and at Washington and Lee, the
new sunburns acquired on the sun deck
were shown to good effect in or rather
out of new spring evening dresses.

Headed up Charlottesville way were
Susan Johnson, “Chink” Taylor, Bernard
Berkley, Zora de Arellano, Mickey Payne,
Betty Dorshied, Tugar de Jamett, Tiny
Montgomery, Windy Zimmerman, Mary
Jean Campbell, Rinky McCurdy, Barbara
Rudd and Lucy Sasscer.

To Washington and Lee Spring Dances
went Sarah Graydon, Bev Smith, Bet
McHaney, Lacy Tucker, Kay Sanford,
Marie Beale, Sarah Coleman, Barbara
Simpson, Eloise Selison, Jean Downs,
Joanne Ridley, Polly Story, Louise Buse,
Gloria Krey, Peggy Wright, Angie Frazier,
Betty Thomas Nancy Elder, and Edie
Hobson.

Anne Green, Stoogie Rothwell and Ruth
Jones took off for Annapolis for sailing
and a reception, and Adrienne Maron and
Pannie Riggs went up into the wilds of
Tennessee to the Spring Dances of the
University of the South at Sewanee.

Richmond fairly swarmed with Hollins
girls. When the choir and choral club
were not warbling over the ether waves
or lunching at the Jefferson Hotel, they
spent their time at the movies, at dinner
parties and dating the Richmond boys.

Next week-end the Keydets will be
dazzled by the charms and graces of six¬
teen or more Hollins girls among whom
are Micky Roethe, Mary Jane Hess,
Marguerite Cornwell, Jeanie Afflick, Anne
Morissey, Virginia Martin, Jimmie Good-
min, Pattie Renselaer, Virginia Wood,
Betsy Fetter, Kitty Anderson and Bobbie
Martin.

So while the boid is still on de wing,
we fly out of the social whirl till next
year—Bye now. . . .

Students Defy
Law of Gravity

World Turns Upside Down
or Rink Me Another

“Have you signed out? Why don’t we
leave? Isn't the bus driver cute? Oop’s!
We’re off! Susan, will you get off my
lap? H-o-l-l-i-n-s—Hollins! Rah! Ow-wur
Hollins College, etc. Miss Chevraux,
will I get extra credit for skating tonight?
Huh! She didn’t even answer. She is
not busy. Oh, be quiet. This is the
road to the Country Club. I have, too,
been to the Country Club. What’s that
big barn over there? What? Oh—Ohhh.
Well, how was I to know it was the rink?
Let’s get out.

“Have you got my quarter? What?
No, I didn’t. You brought the money.
... I haven’t got it. Oh, be quiet. There's
no sense arguing now. Miss Chevraux,
we . . . that is, Susan . . . Oh, be quiet
... forgot our money. Yes’um. No, ma’m.
No, we won’t. Gosh! Thank you, Miss
Chevraux. We’ll pay^you the first thing
in the morning. Huh! No extra dime
for cokes. Hurry up. Everybody else
is skating.

Waltz with Me

“ Hey, you! Eh, will you help me with
my skates? You will! Do many people
fall down here? Are you a good skater?
Oh, I bet you are / What? Yes, Susan,
I’m ready. Of course, I can stand up.
Whoops! Thank you. I just kinda lost
my balance. Heh, heh . . . you know
how it is. Oh, all right, I’m coming.
G’bye! He is a real nice boy. I was not
flirting. I was just being friendly. Oh,
the Blue Danube! Shall we waltz? I’d
better do what? Oh! so you don't think
I can waltz? Just watch. Da-da-da-da-
da-da . . . da-da. . . I guess I’ll show her.

“Susan, Susan, for heaven’s sake quit
laughing. You’re making matters worse.
Pick me up! Will you quit laughing?
Oh, all right. So what if I can’t waltz?
That man deliberately pushed me. No,
I’m not hurt, thank you. What’d you
say? Why don’t we go faster ? You’re

T

not on the outside as we go ’round.
Makes a difference. Besides, can’t you
read? ‘Circling rink more than four times
a minute is strickly prohibited.’ Oh, all
right. We’ll go faster.

or Even Conga

“ Now, Susan, don’t get frisky. Susan
. . . -Susan! Did you hear me? Ye gods!
Don’t let go! What? Of, course, I’m not
afraid. It’s just that I get sea sick.
They’re playing a rhumba. Let's slow
down and rhumba. It’s not a conga. Ha!
Look at them all over the floor; Look
silly, don’t they? What? Oh, be quiet.
Let’s slow down. What for? Let’s get
a coke. We haven’t any money? Well,
if you hadn’t \ . . quit twisting my arm.
Let go! Susan . . . where’d she go? I
can’t stand up. I will stand up. I can’t.
What am I doing? I wish I were home.
Ohhhhh.

“I knew it. I knew it. She’s hated
me ever since the first day of school.
She pushed me! She wanted to kill me.
Yes, she did. Oh, be quiet. You didn't
even see it. I hate her. Let’s get out
of this place.

“What? Did we have a good time?
Marvelous . . . sim—ply marveloust You
should have seen me waltzing and rhum-
baing! Susan, what are you laughing
about?”

HATS OFF TO MELODY

NO. 1 BRASS HAT—of the radio regiments is Glenn Miller, according to a recent poll of
the nation’s radio editors. Miller’s special way of serving song and swing has caught the fancy
of American dancers more than any other band today, the editors agree. Nope—those aren’t
trench helmets the sliphorn boys are swinging, though the Miller band salutes the army
camps three times weekly on its '’Chesterfield Moonlight Serenade.” It’s a C. B. S. program.

IS THAT A FUR COLLAR?

Harvard's reputation has reached the
army now.

Two Tigermen, wearing Chesterfield
coats (as Princeton men always do) since
they had not yet received their uniforms,
were enjoying their last civilian walk
through the camp one day. Several wide-
eyed recruits from the South approached
and asked:

“Are you fellas from Harvard?”

“Of course not.” The Princeton men
were definitely repulsed.

“Why?”

“We thought only Harvard men wore
coats with fur collars,” came the naive
reply.

-®-

On a certain occasion, a young man
called on a Blacksburg girl to take her to
the movies. When he asked to see the
girl, her father said that she couldn’t go
out.

“Why not?” asked the young man.

“Because you come from V. P. I.,”
was the answer.

“But I’m not from V. P. I.,” answered
the boy, “I work at the powder plant."

"Excuse me," the father replied, "my
daughter will be right down.”

Well, well, and so it finally came. What |
came? Don’t be silly, Spring, of course.
Speaking, of course, you really ought to
see some of our lasses shine on the golf
course. Mr. Gordon (the poor long-suffer¬
ing man who is trying to teach us the
game at the club) says that we really
have some good material among us. In-
cidently Mr. Gordon taught Glenna Collet
all she knows about golf. To get back to
the good material, you all ought to see
Betty Lee Sams wham her ball out
towards the distant horizon, and usually
not trailing very far behind is Val Kuntz’s
little white ball. Caroline Gale must be
good in one way or another because Mr.
Gordon’s young assistant took the trouble
to reel off the many virtues of her drive.
Since so many girls are attempting so
valiantly to learn this sport, the cow
pasture is more than amply populated
each Wednesday (and not only by cows
either), Bunch, Popey and Rhea Day go
up there each time to help iron out any
difficulties such as grips, stances, left
elbows and so forth. They’re good, too,
’cause you can really see the improvement
from time to time . . . meaning from one
Wednesday to another.

Spring and a temperature of ninety
seem to be regarded by some as the
typical and as the best tennis weather.
(Seems awful, awful hot to some of us,
but then our mothers always accused us
of lacking energy.) Have you-all seen
Bunny Rohner, Neka Thomas, Anne
Hall and Harper Ricketts out there
toeing the line, so to speak, and slamming
beautiful line balls? The above aren’t
by a long shot the only ones who are
making use of the courts on back campus,
and every day finds the courts occupied.

I even heard of one Freshman who got
up at six-thirty to play the game. An¬
other thing that adds to the popularity
of the sport is the fact that a ladder

tournament is going on now. So if you
haven’t anything else to do why don’t
you drift on out on back campus down
towards the courts to watch a match . . .
and if you don’t see a match the walk
will do you good anyway.

Well, this Saturday is it . . . meaning
the horse show. Hollins College Eleventh
Annual Horse Show, in fact. With all
the dust that is flying around back
campus from the excess use that the
rings are receiving it is scarcely safe to
go out on back campus (not literally but
just figuratively speaking). There will be
classes for Walk, Trot, Canter, some
classes for Jumping, others for Hunt
Teams, plus still others. Participating
in the horse show besides the riders from
H. C. will be a few members from the
V. P. I. Riding Club and several girls
from Chatham Hall. The participants
from other schools will ride in some of the
classes with out Hollins girls and then
will ride in a class of their own. Up
until this year we have had several
Cadets from V. M. I. showing, but this
year they are passing us and the Fincastle
High School Band up for their Easters
and Tommy Dorsey. The climax of the
afternoon will be the Championship Class
from which the champion rider of the
school will be chosen. In this class the
participants will be asked to walk, trot,
canter and jump. The winners for the
last two years—Cynthia Collings and
Anne Hall, naturally will not be able
to compete in this class, but those who
will be striving for the cup are Armin
Cay, Cynthia Derry, Mary Pearson,
Paige Roby, Sybil Graham, Louise Harri-
man, Kay Sanford, Marcia Earle, Fritza
von Lengerke and Shirley Henn. Hard
work for the judges I'd say, sure wouldn’t
like to be in their shoes. All I can say is
"May the best man win!”
